In Access, is there anyway to Auto maximize one form, but not any others that you open?

For example, I put the auto maximize code, DoCmd.Maximize, in the Open Event of my form [mainfrm]. On this form, I also have command buttons that on click will open up other forms (they're NOT subforms). The problem is, I don't want these other forms to auto maximize, I need them small. However, I DO need the mainfrm to auto maximize because I have a lot of controls on that mainfrm that can only be visible if it maximizes. Not forcing it to auto maxmize would force the user to use the scrolls and it gets kind of messy on the computer screen.

Is this possible at all? Or if you have any advice on how I can correct this I'd appreciate it.

Thanks in advance.
 

If you don't want a form to maximize, set it's Pop Up value to Yes.
